In the US the ingredients are listed in order but not with the actual quantity. So if they’re listed as like “water, sugar, strawberry, …” then you know there’s more sugar than strawberry but not by how much. The nutrition label gives proportions of macro and micro nutrients, though.
Only kinda in the US. The ingredients must be listed in order of prevalence. They absolutely aren’t required to tell you how much of which ingredient, because of “trade secrecy” laws so that you aren’t able to recreate a "Big Mac,’ for instance, despite the fact that you can totally find all that info in public domain, should you look.
‘Made with real fruit’ is a perfect example…they almost never say how much
Our blueberry muffins are made with real fruit!
Yep, bits of grape skins to simulate blueberry skins + blue dye and just enough blueberry juice to keep regulators happy.
and tbh straight fruit isn’t always good for you, especially not when they’re taking out the pulp / fiber.
They have to say the proportion in the ingredients.
